Local Loves: Huntington Provision Co.
We love it when our artisanal providers have a mission that
aligns so well with ours! Based out of Cary, Huntington began with two parents
wanting to make foods that were healthier for their family. Since 2012, Huntington
Provision Co. has been dedicated to delivering scratch-made, all-natural, locally sourced & classically
inspired artisanal foods to the people of North Carolina.
In the few years that they’ve been sharing their nut butters
and granola products with others, they’ve continued to be at the forefront of
food trends and changing health movements to provide a product with the best
tasting, healthiest ingredients for you and your family. We recently asked Jen, co-founder of
Huntington Provision Co. about what motivated her and her family to eat healthy
and run their own food business.
“As the business has gone on, my passion has been
nutrition,” Jen says. She loves providing organic, non-GMO, low sugar foods for
her two sweet boys.
As Jen’s learned about choosing the right oils and sugars,
she’s used that knowledge in the kitchen, switching to healthier ingredients.
That’s one reason why organic coconut sugar and extra virgin olive oil have
found their way onto the short ingredient list at Huntington. They are lower in
sugar and contain more healthy oils than organic canola oil and cane sugar,
without sacrificing taste.
“Overall that is our goal, to make a product that not only
tastes delicious, but that’s good for you. I won’t make it and I won’t sell it
unless it’s good for you,” Jen says.
In everything they make, they like to keep the ingredients
simple. They’ve recently added an olive oil sea salt Peanut Butter made with
extra virgin olive oil, Pink Himalayan salt, and peanuts harvested in North
Carolina.
One other thing that sets Huntington Provision Co. apart is that
they haven’t been afraid to change their ingredients or their methods to make
their nut butters and granolas more healthy and from local sources. One of
their most popular choices is the Hummingbird Granola, a sweet mix based on a
cake recipe from an old issue of Southern Living Magazine that has delicious
organic ingredients like wholegrain rolled oats, coconut, honey and dried
fruits.
Served on a sandwich or plain on a spoon, everyone in the
family will love their new nut butters!1 Jen’s kids enjoy the chocolate peanut
butter spread on sliced apples, and it’s a healthier, guilt-free alternative to
sweeter spreads found in the grocery store.
Their granolas are great by themselves as a healthy snack, or added to yogurt for a nutritious and quick breakfast. If you haven’t tried their granolas or nut butters yet, be sure to catch it on our menu in the coming weeks!
